Half the migrations we take on are rescue jobs. Somebody moved a company off GoDaddy or Zimbra over a weekend, calendars arrived empty, shared folders vanished, and the boss's phone stopped syncing on Monday morning. The problem is almost never Microsoft - it is skipping the dry run, so we copy every old mailbox across in the background first and check folders, contacts and calendar entries against the source before touching the mail record. For offices around Sukanta Nagar we make the switch on a Saturday evening, and an engineer stays on the phone with you through Monday.
✅ Sizing, Licensing and Ordering Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration anywhere in Kolkata
The mail server sits in a cupboard behind the accounts room, and everyone in the office knows the sound it makes when the power flickers. Small companies across Kolkata ran their own mail for years because there was no sensible alternative; there is one now, and it needs no UPS, no antivirus renewal and nobody to restart it on a Sunday. Moving those mailboxes into Microsoft's cloud takes a weekend and keeps every old message, contact and calendar entry. The cupboard machine stays readable for a fortnight afterwards, just in case.
A new joiner starts on Monday and is still without email on Wednesday because nobody is quite sure who creates accounts. When a tenant is built with proper groups and roles, adding a person takes five minutes and mail, files, Teams and folder access all arrive together. Removing somebody is just as quick, which matters more than most owners expect until the day it does. Offices near Sukanta Nagar tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.
🧠 What Changes in the First Month with a growing team
Auditors ask awkward questions about mail from three years ago, and 'the employee took his laptop' is not an answer that survives the meeting. How far back you can search is decided by retention and archive settings, and those need choosing at setup rather than after the request arrives. For CA firms in Kolkata, and for anyone getting ready for the data protection rules now coming in (DPDP Act), we place holds on the mailboxes that matter and write down what is kept and for how long. Nobody enjoys this conversation, but it is far cheaper before than after.
A tenant is not something you build once and walk away from - people join, Microsoft changes a default, a policy quietly starts blocking something that worked last month. We stay on afterwards: adding and removing users, watching the security dashboard, reviewing licence counts before the renewal date rather than on it. You deal with someone who already knows your setup instead of explaining it again to a new ticket. Plenty of businesses keep us on for that reason alone.
Ex-Employee Mailboxes Kept for Audit at a CA Firm
A logistics startup in Kolkata had grown into three area names, one from the original brand, one for the new one and one bought for a service they no longer offer. Mail was arriving on all three from three different providers, with staff quietly forwarding things to themselves to keep up. We consolidated everything into a single tenant with one address book, kept all three domains delivering so no customer's old address broke, and authenticated each of them properly. New staff now get one address on the current brand and nobody forwards anything anywhere.
🛡️ LOCAL BILLING AND LICENCE SUPPLY
Working on Site with Offices in {AREA}
Every tenant we build gets the same plain baseline: a phone prompt on top of the password, the ancient mail protocols switched off, sensible sharing limits, and a separate emergency admin account. None of it is exotic and all of it is written down. You keep that document, so whoever looks after your systems next is not left guessing.
The work we take on, once the plan is agreed:
▪Microsoft Defender for Business Rollout
▪Stopping Sensitive Files Leaving by Email (DLP)
▪Fixing Mail That Lands in Spam (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
▪Company Phone and Laptop Controls with Intune
*Reminder: Mailbox backup is a separate paid product; a Microsoft 365 subscription on its own is not a backup of your email or your files.*
💡 Engineering Fact: accounts@ and sales@ do not need paid licences of their own, as long as each stays under 50GB and the people reading it are licensed. Firms routinely pay for four or five of these without ever realising it.
🗂️ FILES OFF WHATSAPP
Five copies of the same document doing the rounds on a group? We will design the shared drive structure for your team in Sukanta Nagar before a single file gets uploaded into it.
🏷️ Ranges Sorted by Office Size for offices in Sukanta Nagar
Everything we configure during a tenant build is listed below, along with what stays your decision:
Microsoft 365 Business Standard - Installed Office Apps, Email and Teams
For office teams who need Word and Excel installed on the laptop, company email on every phone, and one place to keep files. This is where most small and mid-sized firms land.
🔹 BILLING
Per person per month on a monthly or yearly commitment, invoiced in rupees with GST by Microtech Solutions instead of a foreign card charge.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Desk staff who live in Outlook and Excel all day - accounts, sales, admin and management.
🔹 SETUP TIME
A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium - Standard Plus Security and Device Control
For firms holding client money, patient records or drawings, where one stolen laptop is a real problem. Everything in Standard, with device control and tougher sign-in rules layered on.
🔹 BILLING
Per user per month. Plenty of clients keep general staff on Standard and lift only directors, accounts and IT up to Premium.
🔹 DEVICE CONTROL
Company laptops and phones are enrolled, disks are encrypted by default, and a missing device can be cleared remotely (Intune and BitLocker).
🔹 STOPPING DATA WALKING OUT
Mail carrying PAN, Aadhaar or bank account numbers can be flagged, blocked or encrypted on its way out the door (data loss prevention and sensitivity labels).
Exchange Online Plan 1 and Plan 2 - Company Email on Its Own
For teams that already own Office or spend the day inside Tally, and only want a reliable inbox on the company area. Mail, calendar and contacts, without paying for apps nobody opens.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.
🔹 MAILBOX SIZE
50GB on Plan 1. Plan 2 doubles the main mailbox to 100GB and adds an archive that keeps expanding as it fills up.
Moving the Shared Office Drive into SharePoint and OneDrive
For offices still passing files around on a server in the corner, a NAS box, pen drives or WhatsApp. We lift the folders into the cloud with the structure and the permissions intact.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Any office in Kolkata where the file server is ageing, the backup is nobody's job, and staff away from the desk cannot reach the data.
🔹 WORKING OFFLINE
Files still appear as a normal drive in File Explorer, keep working when the link drops, and catch up when it returns (OneDrive sync).
🔹 UNDOING MISTAKES
A deleted file waits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten one rolls back to an earlier version in a couple of clicks.
Microsoft 365 Business Basic - Webmail for Shift and Shop-Floor Staff
The entry plan for giving every employee a proper company address without buying installed Office for people who will never open Excel. Runs in a browser and on the phone.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
A 50GB mailbox on the company area, Teams chat and meetings, 1TB of cloud space, and the browser versions of Word and Excel.
🔹 USER LIMIT
The small-business plans stop at a few hundred seats; beyond that we move you onto the enterprise line instead.
🔹 WHY IT SAVES MONEY
Most firms find half their headcount never touches installed Office. Putting those people here and leaving desk staff on Standard cuts the monthly bill with nobody losing an address.
Teams Calling and Meeting Room Setup (Phone System)
For firms who want the reception line, the desk phones and the boardroom screen running through Teams instead of a separate PBX box. Calls follow the person to laptop or mobile.
🔹 CALL REPORTING
Who rang, who missed it, how long people waited - the numbers a sales head actually asks about on Monday.
🔹 SETUP TIME
Porting existing numbers runs on the operator's clock and is the slow part; the Teams configuration itself takes a couple of days.
🔹 WHAT YOU GET
A real phone number inside Teams, with hold, transfer, ring groups, a menu for callers and voicemail dropped into the inbox (Teams Phone).
Device Management and Lost-Phone Control (Microsoft Intune)
For firms worried about what walks out of the building on a staff phone or laptop. Company data can be removed from a missing device without touching the owner's photos.
🔹 HOW IT'S LICENSED
Bundled inside Business Premium, or bought on its own by firms that only want the device side (Intune Plan 1).
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Field sales teams, offices where staff use their own phones for work, and anyone who has already lost a laptop once.
🔹 WHEN SOMEONE LEAVES
Access is cut and the device wiped from the same screen where you disable the account - minutes, rather than a fortnight of chasing.
Desktop Office Licensing for Larger Firms (Microsoft 365 Apps)
Installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for organisations that have outgrown the small-business plans or already run their email somewhere else. No ceiling on user count.
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Companies past the small-business seat limit, and firms content with their existing mail who only want current, legal Office on every desk.
🔹 BILLING
Per named person, not per machine. One employee with a desktop, a laptop and a home PC still needs a single seat.
🔹 SHARED COMPUTERS
One licence can cover a person signing in at a machine others also use - a factory floor terminal, a training room, a shift desk (shared computer activation).
Ongoing Microsoft 365 Support and Licence Management (Monthly Retainer)
Somebody to call when a new joiner needs an address by 9am or a director cannot sign in before a flight. We look after the tenant month to month so it stops drifting.
🔹 BILLING
A fixed monthly fee against an agreed scope, in rupees with GST, kept separate from the licence charges themselves.
🔹 MAIL DELIVERY WATCH
We read the reports that say whether your invoices are reaching customers or quietly sitting in their junk folder, and fix the area records when they slip (DMARC reporting).
🔹 WHO IT'S FOR
Firms with no in-house IT person, and firms whose IT person should not be spending Monday morning resetting passwords.

💡 Questions Customers Ask Us Most after years of site visits
The mistake I see most often is somebody switching their area policy straight to reject because a checklist told them to. Do that before you have watched the reports and your own mail starts bouncing - the accounting software that emails statements, the copier that scans to email, the marketing platform you forgot about. I run it at monitoring only for a fortnight, collect the list of everything genuinely sending in your name, fix each one, and only then tighten it. The end result is the same; the difference is nobody loses a week of invoices.
Compared with free webmail on a personal address, company email on your own area is mostly about being believed. A gmail or rediff address on a quotation quietly costs you credibility, and there is no way to keep a leaver's correspondence or search across the team. For a two-person operation free webmail is genuinely fine; the trouble starts the day you hire somebody and want their mail to survive them.
The mailboxes your web hosting company throws in with the website are cheap and they do work. What they usually do not give you is a mailbox large enough to hold years of mail, proper calendar sharing, or an address book that everyone sees. They also share a mail server with hundreds of other customers, so if one of them sends spam your quotations get caught up in the same blacklist.
💡 Engineering Fact: Mail from your company can land in a customer's spam folder for one dull reason: the receiving server has no list of which machines are allowed to send in your name. That list is a single line in your area settings (an SPF record).
📋 Key Figures Every Buyer Should Check for small teams
After go-live, somebody still has to own it. That means adding joiners, dealing with leavers properly, keeping an eye on the security dashboard, and answering the question of why a policy has started blocking something. We hold the admin access with your permission and work to agreed response times, and you can take that access back at any point. The tenant is yours; we simply run it for you.
What we take on is worth pinning down before anyone talks about price. This service suits companies of roughly five to three hundred users who want proper company email, a shared drive and Teams, set up once and properly. Microtech Solutions handles the licence choice, the tenant, the area records, the mailbox and file move, the device and security settings, and the walkthrough with your staff at the end. Businesses in Sukanta Nagar get the same running order at eight seats as at two hundred.

Vendor Support Versus the Help You Need at Nine at Night
Microsoft 365 is a subscription that bundles the things an office runs on: company email, the Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook you already know, a shared drive reachable from anywhere, and Teams for calls and chat. Rather than buying software once and living with it for a decade, you pay per person per month and every part stays current. The whole thing sits in your company's own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, which is what the industry calls a tenant.
There are three plans most Indian businesses choose between. Business Basic covers mail, files and Teams with the Office apps running in a browser. Business Standard adds the full applications installed on desktops, laptops and phones. Business Premium adds the security and device controls: protection against fake invoices and links that lead somewhere they should not, plus full management of company laptops and staff handsets.
✉️ SUPPORT DESK
Coordinate custom hardware configurations, AMC maintenance contracts, and site engineering visits directly with authorized integration desks.
🛠️ Group Names, Distribution Lists and Address Book Housekeeping
These are the habits we apply to every tenant we build, whether the company has eight users or two hundred and eight.
🔧 Access and Passwords - Explained Simply anywhere in Kolkata
🔹Drop the time-to-live on your mail records to five minutes a full two days before the cutover, so that when you finally switch, the internet follows you in minutes rather than hours.
🔹Agree the folder and site structure on paper before a single file is uploaded, because rearranging two hundred gigabytes after the fact is somebody's entire week.
🔹Keep the old system live and delivering alongside the new one for the first few days, then leave it readable but switched off for a fortnight before anybody deletes a thing.

WHAT YOU GET FOR THE MONEY - FOR BUYERS
REAL LIMITS - A QUICK LIST
✓Company email on every phone and laptop, 50 GB per person, with Microsoft's own uptime commitment behind it (Exchange Online).
—Litigation hold and case-based search do come with Business Premium (eDiscovery Standard); it is the advanced compliance tooling - custodian tracking, analytics, predictive coding - that only the top enterprise plan carries.
✓A second check at login means the password alone opens nothing (multi-factor authentication).
—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.
✓Everything sits in one admin console that we hand over to you in writing, passwords and recovery details included.
—PST files scattered across staff desktops must be hunted down and imported, and nobody ever knows how many exist.
✓Attachments from people you have never dealt with get opened in a safe box first, and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks (Safe Links and Safe Attachments).
—Staff need a short walkthrough, or they will carry on sending files over WhatsApp and never open Teams at all.
✓Ransomware and virus detection extend to the laptops themselves, not just to what arrives by mail (Defender for Business).
—Multi-factor login means everybody must carry a phone they will actually use, and the first week brings grumbling.
💡 Engineering Fact: A file deleted from the shared drive is not gone. It sits in the recycle bin for roughly three months, and an overwritten file can be rolled back to how it looked yesterday from its version history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Our broadband is slow and drops during the day. Will people still be able to work?
Mostly yes, and the first few days are the real test. Outlook keeps a full copy of each mailbox on the laptop, so staff carry on reading and writing during an outage and everything sends when the line comes back, whereas a Teams call feels every hiccup immediately. The heavy part is the initial download of mailboxes and files, which we schedule overnight or stagger a few users at a time so the office line is not choked during business hours. If the connection drops every day, a second broadband link from a different provider will do more for you than anything we can change in software.
Q. Can we finally switch off the old file server sitting in the corner?
In most offices yes, though seldom on day one. We map the existing shared folders onto SharePoint and OneDrive, keep the department structure people already recognise, and set permissions so accounts cannot browse HR folders and the other way round. Files that a program holds open, such as a Tally data folder, a design library or a database, are usually better left on a local server or a NAS, because live database files and cloud sync do not get along. You gain access from home or a customer site without fiddling with a VPN, but you still need a backup, because the cloud copy is not one.
Q. Someone sent a fake invoice pretending to be our director. Can this stop that?
That exact trick, forging mail from your own area, is what a strict DMARC policy shuts down, and it is one of the first things we set. Once your area instructs receiving servers to reject anything not sent from your approved systems, a fraudster can no longer put your director's real address in the From line and have it delivered. What no setting can prevent is a lookalike area with one letter changed, so we also turn on the external-sender warning banner and add rules that flag mail claiming to come from your senior staff. Tell your accounts team to pick up the phone before acting on any change of bank details, whatever the email looks like.
Q. How do you handle the huge PST archive files sitting on people's laptops?
We collect them and load them into online archive mailboxes, so the mail becomes searchable from any device instead of being stranded on one machine. PST files are the most fragile part of any old email setup: they corrupt, they get copied onto pen drives, and they vanish along with the laptop. Loading years of archive eats time and bandwidth, so we normally run it after cutover rather than letting it hold up the go-live date. Bear in mind that very large archives need a higher licence level, which occasionally changes what we recommend for two or three long-serving staff.
Q. What happens to an employee's mailbox after they resign - do we keep paying for it?
Not if it is handled properly. We block the login, sign the account out of every device it was signed into, and turn the mailbox into a shared mailbox, which keeps every old message searchable without a paid licence attached to it. Their manager or replacement can then be given access to answer whatever still arrives at that address. Two limits are worth knowing: a shared mailbox has a size ceiling, and if the account must be preserved for a legal case or an audit hold, it does have to stay licensed, which is a genuine ongoing cost you should decide on rather than discover.
💡 Engineering Fact: The cloud is not a backup. Microsoft protects the service against its own failures; it does not protect you from a staff member who deletes a folder in March and asks for it back in October.
